Create a new user ‘visr12’ and make this user a member of:
- Administrators (local user)

Install Visual C++ 8.0 (Which is included in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005) in 'C:\VCPlus' -- Make sure not to install VC++ in a directory that contains spaces.

Install cygwin Software:
Log in as the Admin User
Log in as a local administrative user (the user who runs the Rapid Install.).
Create a Cygwin directory
Create the directory where you plan to install Cygwin (called the Root Directory). This directory cannot be under Program Files, or any other directory with blank spaces in its name. In addition, it cannot be under the APPL_TOP.
Download the Cygwin Software
Perform the following to download the Cygwin software:
Navigate to http://www.cygwin.com and click on "Install or Update Now!" to download setup.exe to your machine.
Run setup.exe and click Next, which will bring up the Choose Installation Type screen.

Choose Option 2, Download without Installing.
Click on Next to go through the next few screens, where you will be asked to choose the directory to store the packages (called the Local Package Directory), your Internet connection type, and a download site.
Click on Next again to get to the Select Packages screen, and select the following packages under the indicated sub-categories* (click on to toggle):

According to Note: 414992.1, "Make versions 3.79.1-7 and 3.80-1 from Cygwin are supported for use with Oracle E-Business Suite R12. Other versions are currently not supported". When you will face errors using Relink Applications programs

You can download make (Displayed as "make" at the cygwin site/setup) version 3.80 from this link:

Add Cygwin Bin Directory to Path
Add the cygwin bin directory to the system path. For instance:

C:\> set path = %path%;C:\cygwin\bin
Note: When using Cygwin with Oracle E-Business Suite, use the make utility installed with Cygwin. The system path must contain only the gnumake.exe in the Cygwin bin directory.

No JDK installation is required, JDK is bundled with Oracle Applications R12 installation.

Set Up the Stage Area:

Stage Area (D:\Stage12.1) requires 38 GB hard disk space.

Extract the zip files (25 files) which have been downloaded from (http://edelivery.oracle.com). Nothing special to do since the extracted files will create the stage area directory structure by itself. You should see the following structure under 'D:\Stage12.1.' once you are done with the files extraction:

- It took almost 4 hours to install the Vision instance
- Total space required to install almost 220 GB for Vision instance

After successful installation, login to Application without having any problem, but when tried to run a concurrent request there is no concurrent manager is active.
So, I have changed the concurrent request services properties..Log-On -> Allow service to Interact with desktop

And decided to autoconfig both dbtier and application tier
First, source the environment using the following command (start -> run -> cmd and press OK)C:\oracle\VIS\inst\apps\apps_st\appl\APPSVIS_visr12.cmd
The change to Instance script directory using
cd %ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME%Adautocfg.cmd
After completed successfully, stop the application serviceAdstpall.cmd
Then did the autoconfig for DB Tier ( start -> run -> cmd and press OK)
soure the environment usingc:\oracle\VIS\db\tech_st\11.1.0\VIS_visr12.cmd
cd %ORACLE_HOME\appsutils\scripts\VIS_visr12\Adautocfg.cmd
After successful completion stop both database and listener
Addbctl.cmd stop
Addblstl.cmd stop VIS
Restarted the machine.
Now everything back to normal, concurrent managers are up and running.

If you are looking for the copy of this Vision Instance as VMware clone, you can contact me

I will post the step-by-step explanation for upgrading to 12.1.2 using 7303033 Release Update Pack (RUP2) patch in the coming post

Cheers!!!
